Cupra R comes with a dual central exhaust in a diffuser while Cupra has a single oval left exhaust.

Cupra R comes standard with 19" alloys, while Cupra sits on more comfortable 18s

Cupra R has unique leather stitched interior with gloss black moulded plastic seat backs. Cupra can optionally come with leather without the R stitching or fabric.

Cupra R has a small tailgate spoiler in gloss black, and gloss black trim on the inside door handle and outside side pillars.

That's all I can think of. Other than the obvious R badges....


Later Cupra R also came with xenons, Nav and front + rear optical park system as standard

My Cupra comes with every one of those options apart from the leather and 19s.
 
That's nice. Not standard though. The idea is to list everything you get standard over the Cupra, so that people can decide for themselves whether it's worth it
 
Off the top of my head:
More bhp
19's
Rear spoiler
Seats
Exhaust
Gearbox
Brake pads
 
R badge = massive dong and a haram of b1tches. Cupra = you, your hand, and your little winky.


End

R is the chap who needs to compensate
Cupra is the me too guy
FR is for those who are confident enough in themselves....:whistle:

Acrually, forget that, ecomotive guys would be the top of the pile then!

Can we stop this thread now please. Make a list of the differences, sticky it and run away.
 
To be honest, you pay your money and take your choice. Some people will want the range topper, some will want 19's, some will want leather etc etc. Some will want to go quickly on a budget.

If you have a certain budget, you will get a 2010 Leon Cupra R, standard with all the Cupra R kit for the same price as you could buy a 2010 Leon Cupra for (with the same engine and turbo and it may even have the optional Tech Pack fitted to give it all the nice toys) plus a whole bunch of things to make it loads quicker than standard. Things like a remap, intercooler, fuel pump, exhaust, intake which will give it upwards of 360bhp.

That was my logic when i bought my 2010 Leon Cupra new nearly 4 years ago, and i used all the parts that came off my 2007 Leon Cupra i bought 3 years prior which was the top of the range Leon at the time (not that I give a **** about that to be honest).

I have nothing against the Cupra or Cupra R and have driven both, tuned and standard. And when it boils down to it, they are the same car save for a few minor details.

I would like another Cupra one day, ideally my original one if it ever turns up again, and it is cheap enough :)
 
Yeah think they are.When your competing against a focus RS,Golf R and Audi S3 etc i think it needed a more agressive look.
